I definitely do not have the time (or, for that matter, the desire) to read all of Asimov's books...but since I've enjoyed his Science Fiction works so much, I found myself wondering if I could read all of his Science Fiction Novels. Well, of course Wikipedia has a page for that, so I had a look; there were 29 Science Fiction novels listed. In alphabetical order. To wit:
The Caves of Steel
The Currents of Space
David Starr, Space Ranger
The End of Eternity
Fantastic Voyage
Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain
Forward the Foundation
Foundation
Foundation and Earth
Foundation and Empire
Foundation's Edge
The Gods Themselves
Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury
Lucky Starr and the Moons of Jupiter
Lucky Starr and the Oceans of Venus
Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids
Lucky Starr and the Rings of Saturn
The Naked Sun
Nemesis
Nightfall
Norby, the Mixed-Up Robot
Pebble in the Sky
The Positronic Man
Prelude to Foundation
Robots and Empire
The Robots of Dawn
Second Foundation
The Stars, Like Dust
The Ugly Little Boy
Not too intimidating. And I red-ed the ones I'd already read, and light red-ed the ones I'm currently reading (and bolded the ones I currently own), and that left only 18 books. Six of which I intend to read to Joe in the near future (the Lucky Starrs), and another two of which (the other Robot novels) I intended to read for myself. Leaving only 10. One of which is a short children's book. So yeah...I could do that.
P.S. He also wrote 383 short stories, many of which were Science Fictiony. Hmmmm.
UPDATE: Read some more, red-ed some more. Now 20 read, 9 to go. Definitely do-able.
